Dell vostro 1014

BIOS .rom 2.00 MB Shared

ROM image for the Dell Vostro 1014 laptop, 2.00 MB in size. The name gives no board number, revision or chip details, so match it against the flash chip on the motherboard before use; a 2 MB image only suits a 16 Mbit SPI part. Technicians flash such raw dumps with an external programmer to revive a board that is bricked after a failed update or shows no display. Read the original chip twice and compare the copies before erasing it. Despite the .rom extension, it is a raw image like a .bin dump.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @bios_laptop. Enginerys does not host this file.
